Tuning carrier density and phase transitions in oxide semiconductors using focused ion beams
Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We demonstrate spatial modification of the optical properties of thin-film metal oxides, zinc oxide (ZnO) and vanadium dioxide (VO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>) as representatives, using a commercial focused ion beam (FIB) system. Using a Ga<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> FIB and thermal annealing, we demonstrated variable doping of a wide-bandgap semiconductor, ZnO, achieving carrier concentrations from 10<jats:sup>18</jats:sup> cm<jats:sup>−3</jats:sup> to 10<jats:sup>20</jats:sup> cm<jats:sup>−3</jats:sup>. Using the same FIB without subsequent thermal annealing, we defect-engineered a correlated semiconductor, VO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, locally modifying its insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) temperature by up to ∼25 °C. Such area-selective modification of metal oxides by direct writing using a FIB provides a simple, mask-less route to the fabrication of optical structures, especially when multiple or continuous levels of doping or defect density are required.</jats:p>
